  • Summary

  • In this episode, we interview Jakob Shimony, Head of Engineering at Talon One, a company in the scale-up phase. Jakob shares his insights on the restructuring of his team during this crucial stage. He explains the timing of this decision and how it was essential to balance between losing time on inefficiencies and missing milestones and opportunities.

    The restructuring involved moving from expertise-based teams to cross-functional squads, which allowed them to refer to their code in a more modular way and parallelize work on different topics while losing less focus. Jakob also shares how this restructuring affected the hiring processes and how they found a solution to the bottleneck issues they faced.

    However, he also discusses some challenges they faced, including maintaining balance between different levels of engineers across teams, avoiding silos, doubling down on culture, and dealing with remote work.
